Gin Palace

The Gin Palace is an old world lounge that is perfect for a nightcap. You can picture well-dressed patrons sipping on martinis in a low lit atmosphere at the end of the night. And you can find this lounge right in the heart of Melbourne at 10 Russell Place. It's right at the corner of Little Collins Street and Russell Place just off Russell Street.
This highly rated cocktail lounge has quite a beautiful atmosphere. There are lush chairs and couches, ornately decorated pillows and decades-old pictures framed on the walls. The chandelier light is turned down low to make everybody's skin glow. It's an atmosphere that invites close conversations and is perfect for a date.
This place is all about gin. The owners of the Gin Palace have written a history of gin on their website in a gin-induced haze. Gin is made much like vodka but incorporates the Juniper berry. Juniper started being infused in alcohols to create medicines in centuries past. Today, gin continues to be a medicine. It temporarily dispels social phobias and gives the drinker great courage.
This hidden gem serves up food alongside high-end cocktails. It's a great place to treat yourself for a dinner and a drink before a night out, and it's an even better place to grab a late-night martini. It also allows you to escape the louder and more hectic facets of Melbourne nightlife.
